Abstract

In this paper, a gliding tail decoy for a UAV is proposed, which can be discarded as a decoy when the UAV encounters danger. Based on an aerodynamic model of the tail decoy, a nonlinear dynamics model of the tail decoy gliding in the air is generated, and a three-layer pyramid general design architecture of the tail decoy is established. In order to subsequently analyze the dynamic characteristics and gliding trajectory of the gliding tail decoy, a gliding trajectory simulation software is developed based on the dynamics model of the gliding tail. Selecting the pre-optimized tail shape as the research object, and analyzing the influence of deployment speed and deployment posture angle on the tail trajectory, it was found that a deployment speed of 60 m/s and a deployment posture angle of 8° are more conducive to the tail obtaining a larger gliding distance. In addition, the effectiveness of the optimization method for the gliding tail in this article was verified. It was found that after optimizing the shape of the gliding tail, the lift coefficient increased in the range of 0°~14°, and the gliding distance increased by 4.2%.
